You don't lose skills from being podded in EVE - unless you forgot to update your medical clone.

I'd rather see individual players paying for clone packs or have this as a null sec thing.

The last thing this game needs is making the skill grind even worse.

Ohhh, i see where all the stupid ideas are coming from now ....

Only in EvE anyone will think this is a "good" idea.

EvE forums ;

- So, guys, how can we **** Dust 514 even more ? Any suggestions ?

this is more of a 'can we get people to play a little smarter?' kind of a thread.

I started playing eve because they announced dust.

really? we're 9 months in and we're running out of things to skill. there are guys in my corp that are sitting on 3.5m sp just waiting for an update

you should lose your biggest skill. just as being podded in eve.

that's my opinion. anyone agree or disagree?

that's certainly not the only way to lose skillpoints in eve.

i 'lol' that people actually wrote out legit responses to this thread.

well, that's not what I expected.

how many times would you have to die in a match before being reprimanded properly? kicked from the game is no reprimand, and there must be repercussions to suicideing yourself 20 times, or playing in such a stupid manner that you die 20 times.

So what if i kill 0 clones but die 50 times...

When I am playing objective game types I push the objective with my squad, if there are heavy hitters on the opposing team then it is likely that I will have double digit deaths this does not phase me though as my load out costs about 8k. OP, did your team lose because of getting cloned out and this post is a biproduct of your rage?

Oh would like to add that my squad and I win games by relentlessly pushing the objective. Although there are some situations where you have to realize that you are out matched and play defensively as well

Maybe slow down a bit? I mean, the game has two game modes and 5 maps, I honestly can't comprehend how some of you guys can cap every week with such little content available.

I know I'm not even anywhere vaguely close to "running out of things to skill" and the biggest thing that keeps me from playing the game is getting tired of needing to wait for weeks on end just to upgrade a skill by 2% or unlock a a new piece of gear that is only 5% better than the last piece of gear I had.

The grind vs. the amount of content in this game is insanely lopsided, to the point of being laughable. Having to play the same 5 maps for 10-15 hours a week, every week, for months on end, just to get a character that can properly compete with those willing to treat the game like a part time job is (IMO) why no one plays anymore.

Perhaps we should stop talking about clone deaths and talk about kill ratio?

Someone going 20/20...tough, that's how it is.

Fine, if you make racial suits cost the same as a weapon to skill in to and actually have proper matchmaking.

The elitists of this game are b****ing about blueberries not pushing for objectives. Then they break the blueberries' b***s about dying too much while pushing objectives. Give me a break dude.

so, what's the bottom line? how negative does a guy's kdr have to be before he's not worth having on the battlefield?

I see why you named yourself that now...

my biggest skill is corp at level 1

this is a situation that does not exist. i'm not saying it should be in the next update. i'm curious as to what the community thinks a useless player looks like. among other things.

I care why?

there is not a bottom line, there is more than one way to make use of yourself on the battlefield. if he dies 50 times but hacks and defends every objective on the map then he is worth it. if he dies resing you so you can go on and fight he's worth it. if he runs around with a rep tool and gets 50 deaths 0 kills but keeps everyone up to full armor he's worth it. their is no magical point when KDR becomes more important than WP.

My reply is simple - Ambush
sometimes the computer simply refuses to spawn you in a place where you can even look around before dying, let alone take any preventative action. Should the player be punished for that? admittedly 20 times is largely unheard of but still the game is messed up sometimes.

ambush is high-sec stuff. what about in low sec? is it a bad idea in a real match?

if someone posts such stupid ideas, he should get his account deleted

if he dies 50 times he's spawning for 8 minutes. you don't mean that.

If you die 20 times its because you are the only guy on your team trying to win a skirm/dom match.

After reading this thread I thought ye hell why not awox some faction warfair .... so this morning inwent out in my free suit and tryed all the normal bluberry tactics like running strait at enimy tanks and tgrowing myself infront of heavys whilst spraying and praying ... no matter how hard I tried I coldent get to that 20 death mark as the results from said tactics was a few dead and no doubt pissed of heavys and a few chickenshit tankers who must have thought I had av nades cos the gtf quite quickly ..one of them only had me in my blueprint suit to contend with but no matter how hard intried to rush him like a suicidal lemming he just bolted..... what a sad state this game is in .. when I attempt to awox faction warfair by acting like a **** im still succesfull and going possitive.

or your the only guy trying to lose the match.

All my suit core skills are are at 3. Not really that much of an advantage.

I went quite close to this result once. My final score was 46-18 with an alt character (that I made just to play with cheap gear and have fun without worrying about stats) and it was one of the most intense games I've ever played.

Game mode was Domination and the map was the new one with the underground section and the null cannon right down there. A perfect hell.

So no, I disagree, I never died that much before, but it actually *might* happen if you play very aggressively (which I do not with this character)... and even if my KDR was not great, I'm pretty sure my team would have lost without me.

It was fun.

Suicide trolling is a different story, but who does that? I can't believe someone can have fun suiciding over and over... and over... ... wow, you really must be bored...!

if he dies 50 times he's spawning for 8 minutes. you don't mean that.

I mean every word of it, a good logi or objective player is the difference between winning and losing.

if you die 20 times in a match you should be kicked from the game.

i think if you die 10 times without getting a kill or hugely significant wp you should be auto kicked

Aye that sounds more logical, if you earn lest than 700WP and have KDR less than 0.25 then the match pays no ISK because you didn't fufill your contract to a satisfactory level! Should still pay SP though!
